Finding Peace and Quiet





Every teacher needs time to rest and reflect.  It is getting harder to balance needed reflection time and work demands.

Recently I was introduced to a new website called, Stop, Breath, & Think.  There are many mindfullness programs online, but this is my favorite.  Stop, Breath, & Think will ask for your mental, physical, and emotional health each day.  The program will tailor several activities based upon your responses.  This program is free and has many options.

Another website that combines meditation and devotion is Sacred Space.  The Irish Jesuits and Loyola Press work jointly on this project. Sacred Space is available on Apple/iOS and Android/Google Play devices.

A poet-friend, Laurie Klein writes daily reflections on her blog.  Her photography captures small details, wonder, and beauty.   Laurie's new book called, Where the Sky Opens, a Partial Cosmography takes the reader on journey of love, grace, struggle, and renewal.  She knows how to use words to open the very soul of the reader.

Club Slow Motion (Found on FB)-This is an all women's hiking group.  The hikes are well-paced.  Most of the hikes range from 3-5 miles distances.
